How to treat the Book of Changes?

Fortunately, I learned the Book of Changes from practical learning, that is, from learning gossip prediction, four-column prediction, feng shui, and so on. At first, of course, it was fun, full of interest and a lot of gains, but with the deepening of learning, it was easy to understand when we finally faced the sixty-four hexagrams. The more I get to the back, the more confused I am, and I don't understand why. The more you learn, the more difficult it is to go deep, and it has been stagnant for a long time. Later, I slowly found out whether it was the sixty-four hexagrams or the copulative biography, saying that the hexagrams were passed on, the miscellaneous hexagrams were passed on, and the preface was passed on. They hardly used it in the actual forecasting process, so they gave up slowly and only occasionally took it out for discussion when they were free. Naturally, there is no progress.

I spent most of my energy on the study of gossip, four pillars, geomantic omen, divination, auspicious choice, divination, divination and divination methods. 10 years later, I finally achieved great research results. Not only did I deeply understand the principle, truth, practical value, application field and future use direction of forecasting, but I also gained a lot in forecasting technology. Four images, eight diagrams and sixty-four hexagrams, I not only accurately understand the true meaning of Wuji and Taiji, but also derive the principle that eight things are represented by eight diagrams according to the characteristics of Yin and Yang. Through the nature and arrangement of Yin and Yang, I completely deciphered the origin and name of sixty-four hexagrams.

Now I can tell you clearly that the name of the sixty-four hexagrams is completely derived, and all hexagrams, curses, that is, scriptures are all around the name of hexagrams. In an instant, the mysterious aperture shrouded in the sixty-four hexagrams disappeared without a trace. Now we understand that the so-called sixty-four hexagrams scriptures were not written by a master with a high realm. Zhou Wenwang wrote this in prison when he was imprisoned by Shang Zhouwang. Zhou Wenwang first gave each divinatory symbol a name according to his research on divinatory symbols and his understanding of production and life at that time, and then wrote a sentence around the name according to the combination of each divinatory symbol. Of course, in order to facilitate reading, it is impossible for Zhou Wenwang to classify all the 64 hexagrams. So he considered all aspects of the society at that time, so the sixty-four hexagrams and sixty-four characters we see now cover military affairs, politics, home, planting, culture, life, philosophy, tourism,,, Anyway, almost everything that the society could see at that time has been covered. Since then, these sixty-four hexagrams and characters have become tools for later generations to understand ancient times and study Shang Dynasty.

As long as we understand this, we can say that we won't have too much mystery about the sixty-four hexagrams. I believe that when we read these scriptures again in the future, it will certainly have enlightening and enlightening effects. The traditional Book of Changes actually includes two aspects, one is the Zhou Wenwang Book of Changes, and the other is the Book of Changes of Confucius. In fact, there is nothing mysterious about the experience and sentiment gained from the scriptures. We have said that the study of anything can not be divorced from its background, which is self-evident, and so is the study of the Book of Changes. We can only imagine what ancient times were like, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the scenes of people's production and life at that time, which is of great benefit to our understanding of various ancient books.

As I said before, when I first started learning the Book of Changes, I also had a headache with all kinds of classics. I didn't know it was cloudy, but fortunately I began to learn the Book of Changes by learning prediction techniques. Although I didn't understand the meanings of various scriptures in the Book of Changes for a long time, it actually hardly affected my operation of four pillars, eight diagrams, geomantic omen, auspicious choice, divination, divination, divination and divination. The real idea I want to express is that learning methods are really too important. With the right method, you will get twice the result with half the effort; with the wrong method, you will get twice the result with half the effort. A solid basic knowledge is extremely important for us to learn any subject well. The reason why many comrades can't get out of school is, in the final analysis, the poor foundation. As mentioned earlier, the name of the sixty-four hexagrams comes from Zhou Wenwang's concern about Yin and Yang and gossip. As for the name given by his understanding of production and life, as for the scriptures of the sixty-four hexagrams, he elaborated on it closely. Now think about it. You can't understand the scripture of the sixty-four hexagrams without knowing the basic orientation of Yin-Yang and Eight Diagrams, which is why you can't find the direction after you go in.

There is also an old saying that "you can only see far if you stand high", and it is impossible to stand high without laying a good foundation. I said that I began to learn the Book of Changes by learning predictive techniques. In fact, in the specific forecasting skills, it is very important to understand the basic knowledge of the Book of Changes. What height you can reach in the future depends entirely on how solid your foundation is. I still understand. Learning the Book of Changes is actually learning all kinds of basic knowledge every day. Without a solid foundation, your skills will never reach a high level. As for mastering all kinds of forecasting skills flexibly and skillfully, it is even more impossible. On the other hand, when your basic knowledge is very solid and your experience of life is very profound, it is very helpful for you to learn easily. When you read Wuji, Taiji, Taiji and hexagrams again, you will often be inspired by analogy, but once you discuss with others or are inspired by experts, you will be easily inspired and easily sweep away your inner doubts.

As I said before, we are sometimes confused, mainly because we are fans of the authorities. The reason why we don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain is because we are on this mountain. Once we try our best to jump out of this narrow circle and stand on the top of a higher mountain and look down around, everything will become very clear. This is my continued poem, "Jumping three feet away from Lushan Mountain, the scenery in the palm of your hand is infinite", "Confucius climbed Dongshan Mountain, Xiao Lu and other Mount Tai." The higher you stand, you will not only see farther, but also see more clearly. The higher requirement is to lay a very solid foundation first. At first, I wanted to learn fortune telling because the family conditions were not good when I was a child, and I wanted to see what was going on, so I worked hard to learn various forecasting techniques, which was really tireless, day and night, cold and hot.

With the growth of age and experience, my rich Yi-ology cultivation and profound life experience finally made me fully understand what fate is. I not only understand how to be a man, but also how to get along with the world around me. As a result, the whole person became cheerful and optimistic unconsciously. I felt inferior for a long time before, of course. Those who feel inferior have no confidence. In fact, the reason for inferiority is just that I feel ashamed of my lack of ability and can't lift my head outside. I'm depressed. Now, by studying the Book of Changes, I find that I know a lot and can do many things, which is not inferior to many people in many aspects. In this way, the self-confidence of the whole person is gradually established, and I feel that the future is bright and the sun is shining. The purpose of my original study of the Book of Changes was to learn fortune telling. However, after studying 10 years, I found that a good life needs our hard-working hands to create, and fortune-telling is not a happy thing. I also know that any prediction is only a simulation of the real world, and it is impossible for any prediction to exist independently from reality. The reality is good, the forecast result is naturally good, the reality is poor, and the forecast result is naturally poor. As a result, when I fully understand this truth, I seldom use it.

I study the Book of Changes mainly to learn its ideas. Prediction can't be used easily, but neither can it be used easily. Prediction can be used for major decisions, not for calculations. "Your door faces southeast, and there are two trees at your door. You are the second child in the family. You were injured once when you were a child. Did you go out today? What was the result of this exam? I want to visit someone. I don't know if I am at home. Count it first. I fell down when I went out this morning. Counting the trivial things like "no,,,," which won the lottery today, it can be said rudely that the abuse of the Book of Changes is actually a blasphemy against the Book of Changes, and such people can't learn the Book of Changes well. Who likes counting? It is often those who are unreasonable, don't understand the world, and want to get something for nothing. No cause, no result, no effort, no return. Do you still need to calculate after understanding these truths? What is this? What's the use of counting? Learn the Book of Changes, followed by learning to be a man. If you are a man, good luck will follow.

I understand that the Sixty-four Guajing was only written by Zhou Wenwang paragraph by paragraph according to his observation of everything in the world and his perception and experience of production and life at that time. Coupled with solid basic knowledge of Yi-ology, then the understanding of Confucius' Biography of Cohesion, Biography of Gua, Biography of Miscellaneous Lines and Biography of Preface will come naturally. We should start to learn the Book of Changes from learning prediction. When we understand what life and destiny are like, we hardly need to predict, which is the origin of "the easy ones don't take up". When we encounter a problem that has not been explained clearly for a long time, we might as well put it aside and leave it alone. With the increase of our thinking ability, experience and life experience, when we look back to a certain extent, we immediately find that these problems are too simple. It's like when we were in primary school, we often encountered many problems, but after junior high school, these problems became very simple. When we were in middle school, we encountered many problems, which were really difficult, but when the university was unique, we would feel very simple. In fact, it is not because we have become smarter, but because our thinking ability has increased. Our vision determines the realm, and it is difficult for frogs in the well to feel the external stimulation. Just as we can't describe autumn fairy tales and winter purity as beautiful butterflies dancing among spring flowers, they are all caused by different living environments, and there is no right or wrong. Everything is just the evolution of tens of millions of years, and the ingenious nature.
